Ken: One thing to remember, less than 1% of all patents issued are worth anything. Secondly, just b/c TechSearch(is that the company?) is suing Intel for Patent Infringement doesn't mean they (TechSearch) will collect. Most likely, Intel will litigate that the patent is invalid and, if it is not invalid, that Intel doesn't infringe upon the patent. Remember, just b/c one sues doesn't mean they already have victory! dave

Here is another opinion pubs.cmpnet.com Some observers think the company doesn't really have a case, and see the suit as an opportunistic move. Mel Thomsen, a senior analyst with Microprocessor Report, suggested that if the patent was really this valuable, then International Meta might not have gone under. However, he also said that the Texas company was known as secretive, and that it is hard to put a value on a technology if no products were ever brought to market. "It's hard to imagine a startup could get a patent so important and we wouldn't have heard of it," he added.
